Under-17 champions and a lot to play abroad

Goalkeeper João Virgínia (Arsenal) and defender Thierry Correia (Sporting) were also U17 European champions two years ago.
Many of these players, despite their age, shoot at the professional level in the teams that they represent. This is the case of the extreme Francisco Trincão (Sp. Braga), top scorer of the team alongside Jota, with five goals, two in the defeat against Ukraine ( 5-0) and one in the final with Italy. Although he is still a junior, just like his teammates, he has 39 goals and six goals for Sp. Braga B in the second division of La Liga.

(34 matches for FC Porto B), João Filipe "Jota" (28 matches for Benfica B), Diogo Queirós (27 games for FC Porto B)), Nuno Santos (16 matches for Benfica B), Miguel Luís (15 matches for Sporting B), Table Dju (eight matches for Benfica B) and Elves Baldé (four matches for Sporting B).
Curious is also the fact of what is called the big three, who used to reign in the youth team, were represented only by half of the players . Benfica gave five athletes, but Sp. Braga immediately follows, with Sporting, with three. Only then, FC Porto appears with two. V. Guimarães and Rio Ave are present through the intermediary of defender Romain Correia and defender Diogo Teixeira, respectively, and there are still six players to play abroad: next to Domingos Quina, João Virgínia and Rúben Vinagre, there is defender Nuno Henrique (Sion) and forward Pedro Correia (Deportivo da Corunha). And also the goalkeeper Ricardo Benjamim of Dep Corunha, who was integrated into the team for the final due to the injury of Diogo Costa.
